The roulette wheel has emerged as the most prominent symbol for casino
gambling in America. It is the third most popular game in modern
casinos, right behind slot machines and video poker. Its slower pace
tends to attract a more subdued, "civilized" crowd as compared to
other casino games, and although learning to play roulette is a simple
task, deriving an effective strategy for winning isn't quite as
simple. In roulette, the house has a 5.3 percent edge over the player,
but there are still ways to optimize your potential. Here are five
roulette tips that should help you increase your winnings.
1. No systems: Don't ever follow any one's "system" for roulette. Over
the years, many have tried to come up with effective systems to win at
roulette. Despite the many attempts, some of which are based in
sophisticated mathematics, no system has ever been proven effective.
In the case of roulette, your "system" should be the lack of a
"system."
2. Europe or the internet: your best chance at winning at roulette is
in European casinos. American casinos have an extra slot (00), and
this makes the odds of winning in this country lower. The house edge
in American casinos is 5.3 percent as compared to 2.63 percent in
European casinos. Interestingly, online roulette wheels use the
European wheel, so you're better off playing online than in an
American casino. On occasion, you will be able to find a casino in
Vegas with a single-zero wheel, but this is very rare.
3. No more biases: Don't spend your time trying to find the elusive
"biased" roulette wheel. Many years ago, before modern calibration
technologies existed, it was possible to find biased wheels that
changed the odds of the game. Currently, casinos regularly and very
carefully inspect wheels to assure no wheel biases exist.
Unfortunately, the biased wheel is outdated.
4. Surrender rules: Seek out a table that offers "surrender" rules.
This refers to allowing outside bets that only pay even money. Betting
red/black, high/low, or odd/even are examples of this. Another example
is only loosing half of your money when the ball lands in zero or
double-zero. These surrender rules cut the house edge down to 2.63
percent, although the winning amounts are two times lower.
5. Prison rule: Look for a roulette rule known as "en prison." As the
name suggests, this rule is generally only found in Europe. It refers
to the situation when the ball lands on zero and losses are
temporarily held "in prison" as opposed to being swept away. Its fate
is then determined on the subsequent spin. This rule reduces the house
edge on even-money outside bets to 1.35 percent.
